Overview
Electroplated Zinc-Nickel coatings are more popular than ever due to their excellent corrosion protection when applied over ferrous substrates. Based on neutral salt spray testing at .00032” thickness, it is not uncommon for Zinc-Nickel to achieve 240 hours to white corrosion and 1000 hours to red on a panel.
Excellent non-embrittlement properties make Zinc-Nickel very attractive for high-strength fastener applications. The finish also often replaces cadmium in a number of electrical connector applications.
